What are the steps to buy from CREXI or LoopNet?

[Daniel Lioz]

I am a regular person (not realtor or agent), what are the steps to buy from Crexi or LoopNet? If I find a property that I am interested in, contact the broker for more information or additional details...What's next? If I send a LOI (Letter of Intent) do I still need a representative like a RE Broker for residential properties? Who represents me? At which point do I need to find/engage this buyer side person and say I am interested in this property/warehouse/building can you work with me? Who pays for the buyer side rep? Do I need to find one that specializes in what I am looking for...like self storage or warehouses or old building conversions? What are fees and steps?

Thank you for the information!
